"Uncanny Skullkickers" #1 begins a new adventure for Kusia and Rex as Jim Zub and Edwin Huang strand them on a deserted island and thus expanding the parody scope of "Skullkickers" into jungle survival as well as pirates and epic fanta

"Uncanny X-Men" #2 by Brian Michael Bendis and Chris Bachalo delves into the mind and motivations of Emma Frost, before moving the plot towards the new student recruits and the dangers that Cyclops' team must face to keep them.

"Courtney Crumrin" #10 by Ted Naifeh is a pitch-perfect ending to the first major story arc of the series, containing a mythic-feeling resolution as well as a twist about the narrator that is both surprising and poignant.

It's around the point that Firestorm gets into a fight with the Teen Titans for absolutely no reason at all that Dan Jurgens and Ray McCarthy's "The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Man" #17 falls apart.

Kathryn Immonen and Valerio Schiti make "Journey Into Mystery" #649 a celebration of all the wonders this title has brought to the Marvel Universe, from Silver Age monsters to Sif storming back into Asgard.

"The Jen" goes out on a date and Mik, Korr, Turg, and Tong try to ruin it with maniacal help from Bentley-23, but the reveal of Bentley's mentor is what will blow your mind in Matt Fraction and Michael Allred's "FF" #4.

"Comeback" #4 from Ed Brisson and Michael Walsh brings the time traveling Reconnect agents to the end of their rope, as events in the past and present collide, and the FBI plays its hand. It's time travelling drama without the headaches.
